GoodNovel"Lillian, just trustthis once, and you'll soon see who is really making a fool of themselves," Sebastian said.
Then, he looked toward Jordan. "Since you mentioned tenfold compensation, that would be two billion dollars. Will that be by check or bank transfer?" "How much? Two billion dollars?" Jordan thought he'd misheard, then he becfuriously angry.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Sebastian, you must be out of your mind thinking about money, asking for two billion dollars just like that! Why don't you go rob someone!" Lyra scoffed. "Sebastian, don't think you can extort money from Mr. Hunter just because he's rich. If it were 20,000 dollars, we could consider it as giving to a beggar, but you're asking for two billion dollars. That's not how extortion works." "That's right; it's just a bottle of trash wine. I wouldn't even pay 20 dollars for it," Belinda said as she took 200 dollars out of her purse and slapped them on the table. "That's enough for ten bottles of your wine. Take it." Sebastian smirked coldly. "You just mentioned tenfold compensation. Don't act like a big shot if you don't have the money." Jordan becfurious. "I did say tenfold compensation, but that doesn't mean you can blackmail me. 200,000 dollars, I can give you that. But after you take the money, get out of here. I don't want to see you again." "The original price of this wine is 200 million dollars. It seems you can't afford tenfold, so let's just stick to the original price," Sebastian said. "What kind of trash wine was that? 200 million dollars? I've never heard of wine being that expensive in my entire life," Belinda huffed coldly.
Lyra quickly interjected, "Exactly. The most expensive wines might cost a few million dollars per bottle at most, and those would be vintage fine wines. "Your trash wine, at most, is worth 100 or 80 dollars. Mr. Hunter is already doing you a huge favor by giving you 200,000 dollars. Don't be greedy!" Lillian also thought Sebastian was being way over the line and angrily said, "Sebastian, I'm begging you; please stop this nonsense." "Lillian, I'm really not messing around. This wine, indeed, is worth 200 million dollars," Sebastian insisted.
Lillian rubbed her forehead in frustration, knowing Sebastian tended to exaggerate, but it was too much this time. He was trying to extort 200 million dollars for just a bottle of wine. She couldn't stand to watch. Jordan smirked coldly. "Since you claim this wine is worth 200 million dollars, provide proof. If you can prove it, I will pay ten times that." Jordan didn't believe there was a wine worth 200 million dollars in the world. Even if there were any, it certainly wouldn't belong to someone like Sebastian.
"No problem," Sebastian responded.
He took out his phone and the business card he'd received earlier and dialed Zia's number. "Someone has wasted the wine you gave me, calling it trash. Bring proof of its price over." "Keep pretending. I want to see how long you can keep this up," Jordan said with disdain.
Evelyn was also furious. "Lillian, can't you see what a despicable person he is? He's even exploiting his own people now.

"With your credentials, you can still marry into a wealthy family even if it's a second marriage. There are people a hundred, a thousand times better than him."
Lillian remained silent. Before today, m she would have immediately objected, byt Sebastian's behavior today had thoroughly disappointed her. Sebastian said nothing more. Everyone would see who was really embarrassing themselves soon enough.
Zia arrived quickly. "Mr. Wilder, I have brought the auction transaction list."
"This wine was originally yours. You should ask him for compensation," Sebastian said, pointing at Jordah. "By the way, he said if proof was provided, he'd be willing to whe compensate tenfold of the original price."
